10 month old sleep/naps

My DS is a crap sleeper in the night, has been since day dot! He goes down every night between 7:30/8 relatively fine but most nights will end up waking a couple of hours later and then after that he wakes hourly wanting boob/comfort. I'm trying my best to not offer him boob in the night to break the cycle but really struggling with seeing him so distressed. Also, he naps great in the day, he has two long naps one in the morning and one in the afternoon, he goes in his cot awake and settles himself just fine. But I am now wary that he is napping for too long in the day and this might be impacting his night sleep? He naps for 2 hours during both naps, so sleeping 4 hours in the day. Is this too long for a 10 month old? And if so which nap should I be cutting short, or should I cut out one nap completely?
He goes down between 9:30/10am for his morning nap and between 2:30/3pm for his afternoon nap. Any advice would be great! TIA x

I have a 10 month old too and have similar sleep problems!

I think 4 hours nap time is too long, everything I've read says they should nap for up to 2.5 hours in total during the day. He goes down at 9am for an hour and then 1:30 for an hour and a half. When this happens we get an 8 hour stretch of sleep at night before he wakes and wants boob.

I find if he naps much past 3pm then it ruins I'm his night sleep as he's too wired and will wake after an hour or be difficult to put down.

He's never been the best sleeper either and it's only now we've made progress. However, sleep regression has hit hard and at the moment he is refusing his afternoon naps which makes life very difficult and nicks up bedtimes!

I'm hoping it's a phase.... Confused
